About the Tip & Gratuity Calculator
The tip calculator explains common gratuity math so customers can compare quote structures. Bus2Ride pricing is intended to include gratuity in the written quote, which helps customers understand the real total more clearly.
Even when gratuity is included, customers should still review the quote for included charges, overtime terms, cancellation rules, payment schedule, and substitution policy. Gratuity is one part of quote clarity, not the whole contract.
For quotes from other companies, confirm whether gratuity is included or added later. Comparing full written totals is safer than comparing hourly rates alone.
